Reason for Recommended Action/Background
In 1991, the El Macero County Service Area (EMCSA), constructed a well at EMCSA expense known as "EM3". At the time of construction, the water produced from this well was for the EMCSA community use and also connected to the El Macero Country Club (EMCC) irrigation supply. The El Macero community is now connected to the City of Davis public water system and receives all potable water through the City connections, therefore, no longer utilizes EM3 to supply drinking water needs. EM3 now operates as an agricultural well to supply irrigation water as a redundancy coverage for EMCC, which only had a single extant well.
On November 22, 2016, the Board of Supervisors approved Well Use and Water Use agreements (Agreement Nos. 16-182 and 16-184), which allowed EMCC access to EM3 well in exchange for routine maintenance and electricity charges, and to provide water to the medians with turf. The original agreements stated staff would negotiate the ongoing operating costs in good faith after five years. The recommended action is a revised agreement as the product of those negotiations, combining the agreements into a single agreement. As with the 2016 agreements, EMCC will maintain and pump the EM3 well, pay maintenance and electricity expense, irrigate certain turf medians, and provide an annual report to the EMCSA on maintenance and use items for the well. EMCSA will pay $200 per month to EMCC to compensate EMCC for its ongoing costs to supply and irrigate certain EMCSA medians. This use agreement will also serve to keep the EM3 well in good working order, should the CSA have a future need or use for the well. The agreement also includes grant of a revocable and non-exclusive license to EMCC to access and maintain certain EMCSA medians.
EMCC's Board has approved the agreement. Staff supports the recommended action to approve the Water Use and License Agreement (Attachment A).
